b
a and d should not be considered bc it is not logically correct. c is eliminated because that may not always be the case. therefore it should be b.
Answer: D. minimizes the sum of the squared residuals
Step-by-step explanation: The ordinary least square method is often used in locating the trendine which best fits a graphical linear model. The best is one in which the sum of the squared residual is smallest. The residual refers to the difference between the actual and the predicted points. The sum of the squared differences is obtained and the trend line is positioned where the residual is minimum. Choosing a OLS, and minimizing the sum.of the squared residual, the error difference between the predicted and actual score is minimized or reduced, hence, improving the prediction accuracy of our model.
Finding an angle of a triangle
To get your answer, you would divide your distance by your speed. You should be going about 1.4 miles per hour.
It's not a function because the x value repeated but wasn't accompanied by the same y value . there is (-2,2) and (-2,14) but if they had the same y value like (-2,2) and (-2,2) or (-2,14) and (-2,14) the table would represent a function. If you still dont understand I'll be more than happy to elaborate :)
